Lee Ramage Poet Rhyme

An Innocent Time

“ Love, love will keep us together, think of me baby whenever, some sweet talking girl 
comes along, singing her song, don’t mess around you just got to be strong”

Nothing serious or deep, just music fluffy and light,
The tune and words fill me with the greatest delight,
I was just graduating nursing in 1975,
Filled with adventure, never felt so alive,
My car window down, hair blowing in the breeze,
Flirting with the boys, oh to be such a tease!
With the radio blasting, I’d drive home on the 401,
Knowing this new life of mine had just begun,
Wondering what the future had in store for me,
A job, marriage, and kids maybe two or three.
To this day, when I hear Captain and Tenille,
I go back to that time, so innocent and surreal.


Song by Captain and Tenille,
“Love will Keep Us Together”

Mourning Mist July 16, 2011 at 7:37 PM I think when you love someone and they love you, they should not concerned it will go... Lee Ramage July 16, 2011 at 7:46 PM thanks for your comments, however it is more the bounce of the song and the innocence of your adult life starting ... that is what this song represents to me, nothing too serious.
